Building A Scrolling Marquee

[JeffreyThompson2]

In my last post, I made some cryptic comment about more hidden widget tricks. As it turns out, one of the tricks I was thinking of can easily be done without just the Section Widget. Let's build a scrolling marquee.

1. Add a Section Widget. And put a Text Widget inside. Write some text.
2. Hit the Duplicate button and change the text. Repeat as many times as needed.
3. Turn on Autoplay and Loop.

In the Style Tab, go to Animation > Transition, then Push and Horizontal. (These Animation options are pretty new. I don't think they are in any form of Enterprise at time of writing.)

And done! It's a scrolling text ticker!

I still think there is potential for an uncontrollable, invisible Timeline Widget, but unfortunately I don't have any convenient time-enabled data lying around for testing.
